thermocouple or something like that


Recommended Posts

The cooker in the hut is a beko from a caravan. It's full size and runs beautifully on LPG but the oven seems to be on 100% all the time.

It has a three pin plug but obviously we have no electricity and light it with a wand.

Is the thermostat electric?

Gas burning appliances which are dependant on electricity usually have a failsafe which extinguishes the flame upon power being removed. Eg, no gas safety device would be dependant upon mains power to operate, as that would be deemed unsafe. 

I'd say the thermostat is dodgy so do not use this at all until rectified. ;)

I would say the thermostat is brown bread. The mains is probably only there for ignition. You can probably get a spare but knowing caravan stuff it will be hard to find and expensive. (second only in obscurity and cost to marine stuff)
